It's Friday...

Thought I'd update you on some December contests. Who doesn't love free stuff? I know I do. I am doing Silver Publishing first because, drum roll please, my M/M mermen story, THE GIFT, releases today as part of Silver's 25 Days of Christmas, and it's HOT! You can read an excerpt HERE.

Blurb:

Rad and Crayton - the same yet different. They meet as often as possible throughout the year to be together. Christmastime is particularly special; it's when they celebrate their bonding. Mermen, one born in the south Caribbean sea, the other from the frozen waters surrounding Iceland--neither can exist for long in the other's climate.

Rad returns to his summer home in Pennsylvania, determined it will be the last time. The cold has taken a deadly toll on him. Cray can go no farther south, so they will have to give up their bonding celebration, and the Christmas holiday together.

Cray discovers a way to defeat Mother Nature, but it may already be too late.
